| Hail and Strong Winds with Severe Thunderstorms - Aug 30, 2007 |
Another round of severe weather hit Central Pennsylvania during the afternoon of August 30th, 2007 producing small hail and damaging winds across the area. Numerous trees and wires were brought down by thunderstorm winds across Clearfield and Huntingdon counties. In addition some storms produced nickel and pea-sized hail.
The storms were caused by a cold front that was moving across the region lifting warm, unstable air ahead of it. A maximized area of instability just ahead of the front in Central Pennsylvania fueled the storms. Some of these storms produced outflow boundaries that interacted with the northeast-to-southwest oriented cold front causing storms to redevelop from northeast to southwest as the front sliced through the area.
Below is a listing of the storm reports for this event.
